December 11, 2022 MSNCB President’s Message - December 2022 Season’s Greetings and Happy Holidays Everyone!

I cannot believe it is already time for 2022 to come to a close. It has been a whirlwind of activities for me in my first year as your president and I know there will be more growth and opportunities for all of us in 2023.

As the seasons change, I often find myself evaluating my goals and my progress in accomplishing them since the year will be ending soon. I have certainly achieved some of them, still have time to accomplish 1 or 2 more, but there are a couple I know I won’t attain this year.
